General background to my question: A few months ago, a friend offered
me his Paradox 3.5/DOS, which he was not using. I thought it a good
offer, and took it. I haven't tried it out yet, but intend to soon.
Specific background to my question: In a bookstore the other day, I
saw a copy of "ABC's of Paradox 4.0" for $6. The price is right, but I
wouldn't want to buy a book that would have little relevance to this
version.
My question: how different are Paradox 3.5 and 4.0?  If they're
generally pretty close, I can be pretty sure the book's worth buying.
(Maybe someone who has used Paradox 3.5 and HAS "ABC's of..4.0" could
comment?)
My effort to save time and bandwidth from unwanted advice: I have no
money to upgrade to the current version of Paradox, WIN or DOS. I will
use this version or none at all. So please don't advise me to do so.
My gratitude: Thanks for your help!

Subj: R: BUY THE BOOK?

I bet you can find some 3.5 books for a bargain price if you look around.
I picked up mine for $1... Check the book outlet stores....

I'd happily get it if I knew that it cleared up the problems of
running seamless under OS/2.  Does anyone know?  The problem is that
pick lists in the data model become inaccessible.
